The main reason was always to replace the over complicated Asian carb's but for me this is only an issue on the 413's and sammys. I have found the 410 to be ultra reliable, I have had my 410 for over ten years and its clocked up well over 100,000 with no carb probs. Apparently the std carbs also start to splutter on steep inclines/decents but again I have never experianced this.

Ah, Rich, you're not driving them steep enough then _________________Suzuki now gone, replaced by Pajero's

ahh right then. i might leave it then seen as i have a 410. if it aint bust dont fix it. is there a difference between the santana and the 410? because mine has SJ410 badges on the sides but a santana badge on the radiator grill. does that mean its just a spanish built 410?
